• 22 Sep: The second assignment requires that you go to www.turingscraft.com.
• 15 Sep: Copies of Scanner.class are available. Download this class to have Scanner capability even though you are using a 1.4 Java compiler. The implementation provides all of the methods discussed in the chapters of Java 1.5 Program Design. You should copy the file to the same folder to which you are developing your Java programs.
• 15 Sep: Remember homework 1 is due 9:00 AM on Saturday, 18 September 2004.
• 15 Sep: Remember homework 2 is due 9:00 AM on Friday, 24 September 2004
• 15 Sep: Not getting the correct type of result for homework?
  • There are two primary ways for converting a floating point value into an integer value. If your goal is an int integer, than the second way is more complicated.
    • Casting - Use the (int) operator on a floating value, e.g., (int) myDecimalNumber.
    • Rounding - Use the math API method round with the floating point value as its parameter, e.g., Math.round(myDecimalNumber). Howver, the result is an integer of type long. A long value is perfectly fine to print (e.g., BMI.java), but it cannot be assigned to an int variable. So, if you want an rounded int result you also need to do a cast, e.g., (int) Math.round(myDecimalNumber).
• 13 Sep: Homework 1 is due electronically by 9 a.m. on Saturday, 17 September 2004
• 13 Sep: The homework submitter is back online and working again. You can submit your HW 1 now.
• 9 Sep: A partial implementation of the Scanner class has been developed. You can download this class to have Scanner capability even though you are using a 1.4 Java compiler. The implementation provides all of the methods discussed in the chapters of Java 1.5 Program Design. You should copy the file to the same folder to which you are developing your Java programs.
• 7 Sep: The graduate TAs and everybody's office hours are listed on the Contacts page
